In a report on NBC's Brian Williams's show about the upcoming Sochi Olympics, reporter Richard Engel said, "The State Department warned that travelers should have no expectation of privacy, even in their hotel rooms. And as we found out, you are especially exposed as soon as you try to communicate with anything." To illustrate his point, Mr. Engel brought two new laptops to Sochi and uploaded a fake identity and fake contact list onto the computers—both were hacked within the day.
